wanted his lantern minute. / took it out
of his hand, then turned and walked back to
where Councill was sitting and told him
there was to be no more foolishness, that I
didn't want to hurt him, but he had to go.
He spoke insolently that he wouldn't go, and
then l grabbed him in the collar and struck
him over the head with the lantern. I
knocked him out of his seat and pulled HIM
out; He fell to the floor, and as he raised
up he came towards me and let him have
it again with the lantern. hit him several
times before / conquered him, and then
rushed him right out Of the car into the
darkies' car. He was wiling to go by the
time got through with him.
The conductor of the train was sworn
and testified in substance that the col
ored car on that trip was similar in con-
Struction and appointments to the
ladies' car, except that one end was par
titiOned off for smoker. and was in a
little better condition. Ii white man
should enter the colored car witness
would request him to go out, and if he
refused, would make him go. A white
man, unaccompanied by ladies, would
be compelled to enter the smoker, but
after the train started he might go into
the ladies' car if there were vacant
seats. This practice was in compliance
with the orders of the road, but the
orders were not printed. Witness never
ulu put WnlCe man out OF the lduleS'
car if he behaved himself, and never
heard of its being done. No lady on
the train had requested it. Counsel did
not question the witness regarding the
assault, as they understood from the
confession that that was not essential
to the matter of his elimination.
The fiagman of the train was sworn and
corrobOrated the conductor. Mr.. Brown
submitted a motion to dismiss the case.
Both sides submitted printed briefs and
the hearing ended. Defendants briefs
are two in number-the first maintain
ing the right of a railroad to classify its
passengers on the color line, the second
discussing the question of jurisdiction.
The complainants brief admitting the
right of classification, maintains
that it is the duty of the railroad to fur
nish equal facilities and convenienceS

not cleared its docket of cases assigned

Causes of sudden Death.

The number Of sudden deaths is
large, perhaps increasingly so, though
the popular impression may be false,
since the daily press and the telegraph
have made a neighborhood of the whole
land
One source Of sudden deaths is acct
dental, but many events pass under
the head of accidents which might have
been foreseen and guarded against.
Americans, particularly,a are apt to take
great risks; for example, in their eat
ing, their clothing, their building, in
crossing railway tracks, and in many
other ways.
How careless we are! No staging
need ever fall, and it would moi if
proper care were taken in the choice
of material and in construction. Think
of the frightful list of deaths resulting
from the use of oil poured upon a light
ed fire to cause il to kindle more
quickly!
With many other causes OF sudden
death, our own personal ills seem at
first sight to have almost nothing to
do. There may be p fatal break
in the physical machinery at q point
where weakness has not been sus-
pected. The heart, perhaps. becomes
uunamrally enlarged, or its tough,
muscular fiber turns To- fat, and sud-
denly there is a mortal rupture.
Or the eufeebled hears fails 10 send
blood to the brain, and tie man drops
dead in the street, or at his business,
or more fortunately perhaps, in the
midst OF his family.
In other eases there may be q degen-
GRAFTON of the cerebral artery, and high
living, or glass OF wine, or an excite
ment OF passion, many arouse the heart
to send the blood to the brain with a
force too great for the weakened
arterial walls TO withstand. These
walls give away ut one OF more points,
the outpoured blood presses against
the nerve eenters, and thus is cut oft
the necessary supply of nerve force to
vital organs, The man falls uncon-
scious, and within a few days dies.
We have not space to speak Of other
causes somewhat similar, but in most
OF them the weakness of the link at
which the chain breaks is due 70 over
exerti0n, 10 too continuous brain work,
to excuses in eating and drinking, to
passion, to worry. The weak spot
being asccrtaincd, the fatal result may
be prevented for years, indefinitely, 10y
a carefully regulated life.

Bismarck, who alone enjoys the priv
lege of telling the master of Europe
that he needs to change his collar or be
more careful about his personal APP
pearance in general, was originally
Frauleiu Won Puttkamcr, q member of
"a noble Pomeranian family, and she is
8 most interesting woman. although
probably not one in "a thousand read
ers have heard anything about her.
She cannot be called lovely. She is
past 60, very tall, and very gray. Her
face is very strong, with large cheek
bones. She is rather what character
Of Dickens describes MS "a fine figure
Of n woman, inclined, perhaps TO be
bony. Her acquaintance with the
people mt Homburg and Frankfort
dates from the time long ago when
Bismarck, not i'm the least a great man
then, was simply an official at Frank
fort She made friends then to whom
she has always remained true, and
whom she goes every year to see.
Wherever Mrs. Bismarck is she
rules. When she entersa house every
window must be closed tight, and mo-
door can remain necdlesly open, as
She shares with the French their NOR
bid dread Of currents of air. At table
she is fond oitalking, and speaks very
loud and decidedly. She gets much
excited i'm discussion, and to contradict
her IS not safe She is very fond Of
music and discusses il learnedly, al
though she really knows very little
about IT,. This causes many WoruN
battles between her and her old friend
Baroness Willie Rothschild, one OF the
friends gained in Bsmarck.s less I'M
partaut days. The Baroness IS old,
and. like most Rothsehilds, not re-
markablc for beauty, but she is bright,
really knows something about music,
writes French songs and composes q
great deal. She plays and sings her
own work and she and the Princess
Bismarck do a great deal OF talking
about it.
Tho Princess shares her husbands
digestive troubles, and relies, like
him. upon the advice OF the eN-
pert Or. Schweininger, but. like her
grand husband and the old Emperor
She quite refuses % he governed in her

came upon the skeletons of two very
large elk lying backs down, with their
horns ineXtricably fastened together.
These two had no doubt, engaged in
deadly combat, had fallen without even
being able to get up again, and no
doubt died the horrible death of starya-
ton. A hunter told The writer that he

tween two giant blue elk over in the
Big Horn mountains. While passing
through the woods he heard the most

forest perhaps two acres in EXTENT he

males rushing and tearing about.
heads down, with horns so locked that
he was afterward unable to separate
them. They had become hooked to-
gether early in the fight, and the two
fairly tore up the forest in their
struggle for the mastery. The shrubs
and bushes were trampled down, small
sapliugs uprooteCs or bent over, and
occasionally they would crush up
against some big tree that would have
smashed the ribs Of any ordinary ami
NAL. After a while one of them went
to the grass and dragged the other
down with him. Neither was able to
rise afterward, but on the ground they
continued the battle rolling over
and over in the struggle with force
that surely ought to have dragged their
horns out by the roots or torn their
heads Off When the combatants be-
came quiet the hunter carefully APP

the heart of each, thus saving them
from a miserable death. not to speak
of the ton of fine meat he obtained

Orientals never uncover their heads

The Todas Of the Neilgherry hills
show respect by raising the open right
